Hi, our family is new to RV'ing. We are trying to take our first long distance trip, and are now stuck in a Walmart parking lot. We have a 1994 30' Seabreeze motorhome, and the right rear axle went out on us. My brother in law, who's a master mechanic is with us, but we can't find the part we need anywhere. We've had 2 different ones overnighted to us that we're wrong, although the specs showed it as right. We need a 39" straight axle shaft. Any advice or suggestions?

Did you check for metal identification tags or numbers on the axle itself?

Ford chassis or Chevy?
An RV salvage yard might be your only answer, but they probably won't be cheap. Might want to sell you the entire rear axle, since it isn't worth much to them with a missing half shaft.
There is a list of salvage yards in the Parts entry of this sites RESOURCES area. See http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php?action=Parts

It's a Ford F53. And you're right. We have found it at an RV junk yard, but they want to sell us the whole rear end for a couple thousand, plus another $1500 to ship it to us (we're in Ohio and it's in Florida). And thank you for the link! I'll see what else we can find.

What exactly happened to it. I have repaired some terrible looking stuff. One of the worst was an old medium duty that shot the axle out of the tube with wheel and all attached. As it was sliding out it smeared and egg shape into the top of the tube. I first cut a couple of the large axle nuts in half and heated the tube and kept tapping/pounding on the half nut until I got the tube round again. Using the half nut kept the threads from getting beat flat. I kept working it until I could get a whole nut on it. Freaking blacksmith work. My point is that sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

The rear end under your coach is a 11,000# Dana 80. 35 or 37 axle spline count.
These people seem to have a supply of Dana 80 axles.

Where are you at in Ohio? I'm in the Detroit area, probably not too close, but maybe someone else is?

Great, hopefully it do too much damage to your wallet.
